BACKGROUND Many people with a mental illness are parents caring for dependent children. These children are at greater risk of developing their own mental health concerns compared to other children. Mental health services are opportune places for healthcare professionals to identify clients' parenting status and address the needs of their children. There is a knowledge gap regarding Thai mental ...

A knowledge base is emerging on the effectiveness of mental health promotion which may be used to guide effective policy and practice. This paper considers the generic principles underpinning the practice of effective mental health promotion. Reviews of the evidence base are examined in order to identify evidence-based principles of effective practice. The characteristics of successful mental h...

This article summarizes research on the roles of prior knowledge in learning. Educators often focus on the ideas that they want their audience to have. But research has shown that a learnerÕs prior knowledge often confounds an educatorÕs best efforts to deliver ideas accurately. A large body of findings shows that learning proceeds primarily from prior knowledge, and only secondarily from the p...

Storing interaction provenance generates a knowledge base with a large potential for recalling previous results and guiding the user in future analyses. However, search and retrieval of analysis states can become tedious without extensive creation of meta-information by the user. In this work we present an approach for an efficient retrieval of analysis states which are structured as provenance...

The fulminant development of science and the technical innovations that it has spawned have had a profound impact on our day-to-day lives. Information and communication technology, molecular biology, physics, engineering and chemistry have all markedly changed the lives of most humans during the past century. Scientific research is crucial for creating the knowledge base for this progress, whic...

“Implicit knowledge” and “tacit knowledge” in Knowledge Management (KM) are important, often synonymous, terms. In KM they often refer to private or personal knowledge that needs to be made public. The original reference of “tacit knowledge” is to the work of the late scientist and philosopher, Michael Polanyi (Polanyi, 1969), but there is substantial evidence that the KM discourse has poorly u...

Adam Graycar Director The arson rate in Australia has climbed significantly over the past 30 years. From geographical and environmental perspectives, Australia is at extreme risk of bushfires, yet there is virtually no empirical data concerning bushfire arsonists, or arsonists in gen...

Knowledge management (KM) is suggested as a method to manage and apply knowledge for business management. In this paper, we suggest a framework based on OPF (Open Process Framework) meta model for the knowledge-based decision-making. Based on the modeling method of OPF, we can translate partial and implicit knowledge resident in an individual's mental model into organized explicit knowledge. Th...

Millions of children have a parent with a mental illness (COPMI). These children are at higher risk of acquiring behavioural, developmental and emotional difficulties. Most children, including COPMI, have low levels of mental health literacy (MHL), meaning they do not have accurate, non-stigmatized information. There is limited knowledge about what kind of MHL content should be delivered to chi...
